Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Legacy Labs is launching its first summer camp event called "Sysadmining like it's 2009," where participants will engage in retro computing and system administration using older technology. The event spans two months and focuses on the experience of using and maintaining legacy computer systems, with a nostalgic and educational approach to computing history.
